The wealthy pay 100% of the net taxes in this country. This is the biggest lie the dems tell.

If you take out the government benefits, the poor and lower middle class pay no net taxes.

You and Hunter, first Joe, straight up at the full indexed rate. Especially on Hunter's " artwork" and while you are at it, maybe you can convince your brother to pay your fair share that he keeps for you in that " blind trust"

We always hear "fair share" but can we get an actual definition of what they believe to be acceptable?

quote:

Data [from the IRS - 2018 tax year] shows that the top 1 percent of earners paid over 40 percent of all income taxes. This figure is up slightly from the previous tax year’s 38.5 percent share. In fact, NTUF has compiled historical IRS data tracking the distribution of the federal income tax burden back to 1980 and this is the highest share recorded over that period, topping 2007’s 39.8 percent income tax share for the top 1 percent. The amount of taxes paid in this percentile is nearly twice as much their adjusted gross income (AGI) share.

The top 10 percent of earners bore responsibility for over 71 percent of all income taxes paid and the top 25 percent paid 87 percent of all income taxes.


The bottom 50% of income earners pay virtually no income taxes and some actually pay negative taxes (i.e., their deductions and credits result in them not only not paying but actually getting paid by the IRS).

Mr. Biden, please define "wealthy" and "fair share".

This is a big problem. Something like 40 to 47% (remember that number?) don't pay federal income taxes.

How did we ever come to a point where the government (and the people electing them) got the idea that it is morally ok to raise taxes on people just because they are successful. This is not the people's money.

Does anyone honestly think that Pelosi & her husband, who recently made millions in stock purchases since the election, hasn't already buried their millions in some tax haven?

Why do you say poor? Lower class people are and definitely will get more benefits. They do not pay taxes now.

This will be a wealth and middle income hike. Capital gains for starters.

Then, move wealthy up to 50%. "You didn't earn that". "Be fair"

Remember, Joe Biden's home state is a corporate tax haven. Dude has been around the scene 50 years and hasn't done shite.

I loathe every single shite-stained libtard that voted for this fricker! I no longer give two fricks about being “friends”, you have fricked things up for all of us and our offspring forever.

As said many many times before it’s the ones that make the money that pay taxes . The more you make the more pay . Having the top ten percent pay more is a fcuking joke as they’re the only ones paying in the 90% of taxes and are the ones employing everyone else ( that works )
